CD4^＋CD25^＋Foxp3^＋调节性T细胞的体外扩增及其在移植物抗宿主病中的应用

同种异基因造血干细胞移植是急、慢性白血病及其他恶性血液病重要的治疗方法,但急慢性移植物抗宿主病（graft—versus-host disease,GVHD）作为异基因造血干细胞移植的主要并发症严重影响移植患者的存活率,阻碍移植的临床推广。很多研究发现,高表达Foxp3的CD4^＋CD25^＋调节性T细胞（regulatory T cells,Treg）不仅能控制急慢性GVHD的发生,而且不影响移植物抗白血病效应（graft-versusleukemia,GVL）,在急慢性GVHD发生发展及治疗方面有重要的作用。但Treg细胞在体内的数量很少,不能满足临床应用需求。目前应用外源的IL-2联合TCR、CD28信号通路共同刺激以及运用树突状细胞（dendritic cell,DC）刺激均能达到体外有效扩增Treg细胞的目的。这些扩增的Treg细胞在控制造血干细胞移植过程中急慢性GVHD的发生及防治自身免疫性疾病和移植排斥等方面具有明显作用,在疾病控制和临床应用中具有广阔前景。     

在不同pH值土壤中铵硝比对南方高丛蓝浆果生长的影响

以南方高丛蓝浆果(Vaccinium corymbosum hybrids)品种‘南月’(‘Southmoon’)优选系A47的1年生扦插苗为实验材料,采用盆栽实验方法,研究在pH 4.5和pH 6.0的土壤中按照摩尔比100∶0、75∶25、50∶50、25∶75和0∶100施用铵态氮与硝态氮,对扦插苗根、茎和叶干质量、茎基径和株高的影响。结果表明:在pH 4.5的土壤中,5个施肥处理组幼苗的根、茎和叶干质量均无显著差异(P>0.05);而多数处理组间幼苗的茎基径和株高也无显著差异。在pH 6.0的土壤中,铵硝摩尔比100∶0处理组幼苗的根、茎和叶干质量显著高于其他处理组(P<0.05),其余处理间均无显著差异;茎基径随铵态氮比例的提高而增大,其中铵硝摩尔比100∶0处理组幼苗的茎基径显著高于其他处理组;多数处理组间幼苗的株高无显著差异。与pH 4.5的土壤相比,在pH 6.0的土壤中各施肥处理组的根、茎和叶干质量均显著降低;除铵硝摩尔比100∶0处理组外,其他处理组的茎基径均显著降低;除铵硝摩尔比50∶50和0∶100处理组外,其他处理组的株高显著降低。综合分析结果表明:在pH 4.5的土壤中施用硝态氮和铵态氮对优选系A47生长的影响总体上无明显差异,但在pH 6.0的土壤中施用铵态氮肥较有利于植株生长;优选系A47适宜栽植于pH 4.5的酸性土壤中。     

Arabidopsis tic62 trol Mutant Lacking Thylakoid- Bound Ferredoxin-NADP＋ Oxidoreductase Shows Distinct Metabolic Phenotype

Ferredoxin-NADP＋ oxidoreductase （FNR）, functioning in the last step of the photosynthetic electron transfer chain, exists both as a soluble protein in the chloroplast stroma and tightly attached to chloroplast membranes. Surface plasmon resonance assays showed that the two FNR isoforms, LFNR1 and LFNR2, are bound to the thylakoid membrane via the C-terminal domains of Tic62 and TROL proteins in a pH-dependent manner. The tic62 trol double mutants contained a reduced level of FNR, exclusively found in the soluble stroma. Although the mutant plants showed no visual phenotype or defects in the function of photosystems under any conditions studied, a low ratio of NADPH/NADP~ was detected. Since the CO2 fixation capacity did not differ between the tic62 trol plants and wild-type, it seems that the plants are able to funnel reducing power to most crucial reactions to ensure survival and fitness of the plants. However, the activity of malate dehydrogenase was down-regulated in the mutant plants. Apparently, the plastid metabolism is able to cope with substantial changes in directing the electrons from the light reactions to stromal metabolism and thus only few differences are visible in steady-state metabolite pool sizes of the tic62 trol plants.     

SbHKT1;4, a member of the high-affinity potassium transporter gene family from Sorghum bicolor,functions to maintain optimal Na＋/K＋ balance under Na＋ stress

In halophytic plants, the high-affinity potassium transporter HKT gene family can selectively uptake K＋ in the presence of toxic concentrations of Na＋. This has so far not been well examined in glycophytic crops. Here, we report the characterization of SbHKTI;4, a member of the HKT gene family from Sorghum bicolor. Upon Na＋ stress, SbHKT1;4 expression was more strongly upregulated in salt-tolerant sorghum accession, correlating with a better balanced Na＋/ K＋ ratio and enhanced plant growth. Heterogeneous expression analyses in mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Arabidopsis thaliana indicated that overexpressing SbHKT1;4 resulted in hypersensitivity to Na＋ stress, and such hypersensitivity could be alleviated with the supply of elevated levels of K＋, implicating that SbHKT1;4 may mediate K＋ uptake in the presence of excessive Na＋. Further electrophysiological evidence demonstrated that SbHKT1;4 could transport Na＋ and K＋ when expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. The relevance of the finding that SbHKTI;4 functions to maintain optimal Na＋/K＋ balance under Na＋ stress to the breeding of salt-tolerant glycophytic crops is discussed.     

Molecular properties,functions, and potential applications of NAD kinases

NAD kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of NAD（H） to form NADP（H）, using ATP as phosphoryl donor. It is the only key enzyme leading to the de novo NADP＋/ NADPH biosynthesis. Coenzymes such as NAD（H） and NADP（H） are known for their important functions. Recent studies have partially demonstrated that NAD kinase plays a crucial role in the regulation of NAD（H）/ NADP（H） conversion. Here, the molecular properties, physiologic functions, and potential applications of NAD kinase are discussed.     

高岭土对Fe~(2+)的吸附及其对高岭土中Fe~(3+)生物还原的影响研究

利用异化铁还原微生物可将高岭土中不溶性的Fe3+还原成可溶性的Fe2+,但是此过程中产生的Fe2+能够被高岭土以及异化铁还原微生物吸附,从而影响高岭土中铁的异化还原。本文研究了pH、高岭土量、Fe2+浓度、温度4个因素对高岭土吸附Fe2+的影响;并采用Logistic方程拟合,研究Fe2+及温度对高岭土中Fe3+的生物还原特征。结果表明:pH、高岭土量、浓度、温度4个因素均会影响高岭土吸附Fe2+,当Fe2+吸附在高岭土和微生物菌体表面时,微生物的活性下降,同时高岭土表面Fe3+的生物可利用性也降低,Fe3+生物还原的最大速率减小。
